The FASTEST Video Production NAS - BlackMagic Cloud Store Review

does the unit create proxies on uploads?

what solution would you recommend if the blackmagic cloud store would have not existed?

There is no on/off button. Is it harmful to the system to unplug the power cable on a nightly basis in order to shut it down? We get a lot of thunderstorms in Florida in the summer. I have ours plugged into a UPS system but it’s still pretty nerve-racking every time a storm comes through.

kids build your own NAS, and install a OS of your choosing

Really enjoyed this review Caleb! Top work :)

"$7,595 is pretty pricey"
Me editing with a $30,000 AVID Nexis ... (O _ O) ?

BlackMagic - Nas
Go listen

You're welcome

I've been using the Cloud Pod and it's a bit slow due to the 5gbps limitations but I'm looking to upgrade to the new Blackmagic Design Cloud Dock 2. Seems to be a great option at a much lower pricepoint than the 8TB

Please make a updatevideo about the Backup and Ingest Functions!!!!

i want the OS they are using in it so i can build my own.
im using a windows mini pc rn, but its underpowered for windows, and i want to keep the low power usage.

Caaaaaaamon boys, show us more studio tours, or bts of your set builds / shoots etc. Your creative filmmaking adventures / builds etc are SO MUCH MORE INTERESTING than gear reviews etc etc. I get these might make you coin now or in the future, but IDC, I want what I want hahaha

Hilarious that they think people will buy this knowing they have to send it away if you have a drive fail … The entire point of RAID 5, is the fact that you have almost no downtime, and no data loss. I can’t imagine sending away all of my NAS, and therefore ALL OF THE DATA in the mail, purely because of a single drive failure. What a silly move by blackmagic. If not for that, I would love the idea of such speed from the NVME.2 drives 👌

I mean considering I've spent 7k for my NAS unit (though it had more space), this doesn't sound bad at all with nvme drives. Regular HDDs are so loud it's irritating and distracting.

Excellent review!

Great review Caleb. You didn't show actual transfer speeds here though and as for alternatives - the new Asustor FLASHSTOR 12 Pro which we hope to test soon provides a much more cost-effective option (although with less connectivity) with user-replaceable NVMEs.

I'm a fan of Blackmagic and am in the platform with cameras. However, I just upgraded my PC case to the Lian Li 011 XL partly for the hot swap drive bays. My 3 m.2 fire cuda drives (2 x 2TB and 1 x 4TB) cost me close to $2,000 so 20TB in a NAS isn't insane.
